Since I don’t have HACS setup yet, I’m going to go with the manual method which is really easy to do. One of the methods is using HACS, which is an easy way to upload custom configurations, and the other is manually. There are two installation methods available for Plex Assistant. This allows you to say things “Hey Google, tell Plex to play Game of Thrones on Living Room Chromecast”. FFS!ĮDIT: I've just downloaded Foobar2000 and if that doesn't work then I'm just gonna have to buy another Bluesound as the bugs are driving me to frustration.In this guide, I’m going to show you how to setup Plex Assistant, which is a project that integrates with Google Assistant. The Bluesound might cost a whole lot more than my CCA did but it does gapless as standard and playback is rock solid so unless I can figure out what's going on when it comes to getting reliable and gapless playback when I'm casting to my CCA, then I'm probably gonna have to bite the bullet and buy another Bluesound as it just works. It was the issue of gapless playback and connection reliability that made me buy a Bluesound Node 2i a year or two ago and now that I've got a banging bedroom system, I'm beginning to think I might just have to buy another one for this system as well. Fwiw, I'm not talking about brief drop outs, I mean connection compltely cuts out and the app needs to be closed and started again. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I might well be getting gapless playback when casting from my Android device running USB Audio Player Pro, but now that app is dropping connection sometimes as well. Well done, Xanthe, over at Naim Forums for figuring it out and lfor etting the people know how to do it (the post was actually from October last year)! ![]() I can't seem to be able to achieve gapless playback it from my Macbook Air, and I haven't tried to achieve it from a Windows platform.įwiw, I've read lots and lots of pages on the web over the years hoping to find a solution to get gapless playback on my CCA but the post I read this morning is the first and only one I've ever come across stating that CCA does support gapless playback (without having to utilise third-party workarounds) and that this is the way to do it. I should add, I ran into problems when I tried using an old Android device whereby the Google Home app is limited to an old, unsupported version (version 2.29.1.7) the version on my other Android device (version 2.32.1.5) works perfectly. I've tested this with PLEX and Poweramp and both options work fine. The solution is simple: initiate casting via the Google Home app first then open your media player and play music - it's that simple! For years I've been using the PLEX app to cast to my CCA and for years (or for some time at least) I've been missing out on gapless playback. One of the key missing jigsaw pieces in my streaming setup is finally missing no more: Chromecast Audio supports gapless playback, and apparently, it has done for time! ![]()
